Psalms 75:8

_ _ in the hand ... a cup ... red — God’s wrath often thus represented (compare Isaiah 51:17 Jeremiah 25:15).

_ _ but the dregs — literally, “surely the dregs, they shall drain it.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Psalms 75:6-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Psalms 75:8

For — God is here compared to the master of a feast, who then used to distribute portions of meat and drink to the several guests. A cup — Of vengeance. Red — Such as the best wine of Judea was. Mixture — The wine is mingled not with water, but with strengthening and intoxicating ingredients. Dregs — The worst and most dreadful part of those tribulations. Shall wring — This dreadful draught was brought upon them by their own choice and wickedness.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Psalms 75:8

For in the hand of the LORD [there is] a (f) cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring [them] out, [and] drink [them].

(f) God's wrath is compared to a cup of strong and delicate wine, with which the wicked are made so drunk that by drinking till they come to the very dregs they are utterly destroyed.
